Verapamil was added to my list of meds this summer during a

severe complicated migraine episode. At first, I was extremely

lightheaded on it, but once the dose was cut down and also divided up to

three times a day, the side effect stopped. I just had to be careful not

to stand up too fast, but I have to do that anyway! It did not lower my

blood pressure, which usually runs low. My blood pressure was actually

higher than it had been for awhile, while I was on it.
